"Suicide or Murder?" is the 9th episode of the The Apothecary Diaries anime adaptation.
- An older acquaintance of Jinshi's dies while drinking at a party. A servant's body turns up in a moat. Both deaths are written off as self-inflicted, but Maomao's keen observations tell her that there's more to both stories.
